The Whirlwind CI8L converts 8 analog line level channels of audio to CobraNet digital networked data.

The CI8L is Whirlwind's 8-channel CobraNet line level input module. Use it to convert line level analog audio into professional quality digital audio, for distribution over CobraNet digital networks. The CI8L can be temporarily or permanently connected to the CobraNet network, anywhere network access and AC power are available. Connect any line level source such as mixer matrix or aux outputs, speaker system crossover outputs, or surround sound processor outputs and instantly send them throughout the CobraNet digital audio network.
Setup and operation are simple and easy. Just set the bundle select wheels to the desired transmit bundle number, and set the bitwidth:latency selector to match the bitwidth and latency of the receiving device. Then apply the eight channels of audio and adjust the input level as necessary, ensuring that the level is below the 0 dB clipping level.
